How soon will it be before Hillary sends in the ground troops.

[cripplecreek]

Once the boots are on the ground its our baby forever.

[tsowellfan]

I hate to do it, but I've gotta watch Al Jazeera live online. Unfortunately I can never find live FoxNews online and even if I did they are most likely not in Libya.

I'll just cover the ears to avoid the propaganda

[clintonh8r]

Mullen always engenders such confidence. Not.

[RC2]

I agree. For some reason, we can’t decide to pull out of any place once we take control. It kind of sounds like the old England. Remember the old saying that “The Sun never sets on England”?

[tsowellfan]

Not a good thing.

Anybody hear the opinions of Sarah Palin and the other possible GOP candidates on this issue? Have any of them spoken about what's going on in Libya?

If they are on the right side of the issue (they may happen to gain non republican support on election day)

[hinckley buzzard]

Half-baked, poorly thought out, no good reason for it, no clear goal--this is going to be a serious misf*ck. Just watch.

[JimSEA]

As absurd as it sounds, there is less propaganda on Al Jazeera than on CNN.

[vbmoneyspender]

Mullen's just trying level the playing field by giving helpful military advance to Qadaffy.

I'm sure that if Qadaffy gets a leg up on us, Mullen will then grace our side with some insights he has kept to himself for just such an occasion.

[vbmoneyspender]

oops - advance = advice

[Mr. Jeeves]

Obama goes to war for Europe’s oil. I guess that’s what they call “nuance”.

[unkus]

I think it was “The sun never sets on the British Empire”.

[nascarnation]

As absurd as it sounds, there is less propaganda on Al Jazeera than on CNN.

Truth IS stranger than fiction sometimes.

[TADSLOS]

How soon will it be before Hillary sends in the ground troops.

Under the label of a "Humanitarian Crisis". Meanwhile pleas for help along our southern border goes unheeded.

[tsowellfan]

After what we started yesterday, leaving Gadaffi in power could be a recipe for renewed terrorism (this time with passion) coming out of North Africa. He's probably going to quit participating in our war against Al Qaeda as he may now need to appease Al Qaeda in order to increase his chances of surviving.

I say, we're as good as having the boots on the ground already unless we want to face more international terrorism.

[smokingfrog]

Were any military experts consulted, or do Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice and Samantha Power have complete control of our foreign policy while 0bama takes a vacation?

[Mouton]

not to be particular, it was it never sets on the British Empire.

I like a quote from Thatcher: She traced the deminishment of the BE on the rise in the use of the telephone. Before the phone, those in the field made all the decisions and then alerted whitehall what had happened. After the phone became in vogue, the back benchers knew what was better than the guy on the scene. Class A REMFs for sure!

[caww]

Exactly.....dislike Mullen enormously...saw a video of him talking to troops sometime back....his style is less than stellar. Lots of negatives and condescending remarks no matter the arena he's playing to.

[RC2]

Thanks for the correction. I knew it was something like that. If we aren’t careful, our sons and daughters will be doing the same.
